Well mate I was wrong about the squeaking, my pads are about 40% worn so didn't need to change them... was talkin to my dad about it he works for RAC been a mechanic for about 17 years he said all it needed was pads out clean them up with break cleaner stick some copper grease on the top and bottom of the pad but not the bit that comes into contact with the disk, then some on the back and then on the "anti squeal pads" that don't fecking work haha, so far my problem is solved.

Hope this makes sense mate.

If your not to sure about what to do ask a friend that does garage will probably charge you stupid amounts to do it

Hey andy....absolutely no relation to your question, but there you go :)

I think I'm the youngest on here....17 in January :D

Sounds like your brakes, as driving at high speed will wear them down quick as their standard pads, if you need to change your pads I recommend getting some "Green Stuff" pads as they are the dogs &#33;Removed&#33; in fast driving;)

Im with Natwest, beleive me I shopped around, I work for a car insurance company (privilege) so i got my insurance through work and that was with a discount for being staff, Its cos wen i took out the insurance i was 19 (20 now)..... Im pretty sure that i tried egg and it was no good, I think theyre underwritten by UKI group which is part of the RBS.
